Bookmark or Share- What Are Tiltrotor Aircraft, And How Do They Fly? - SlashGearRather than a single, stationary rotor, as you'd see on a typical helicopter, tiltrotors use a pair of rotors mounted on both sides of the vehicle, both of which are placed on a swiveling joint....
- List of tiltrotor aircraft - WikipediaA tiltrotor is a type of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that convert from vertical to horizontal flight by rotating propellers or ducted fans from horizontal positions like conventional aircraft propellers to vertical like a helicopter's rotors.
- Equations of Motion for a Generic Multibody Tilt-rotor AircraftTwo configurations: Tilt-rotor vs. Tilt-wing. Often flight dynamics simulations treat the vehicle as a single rigid body. Rotors are treated as thrust application points. Provide reasonably accurate results if the mass of the appendages (rotors, nacelles, wing sections) and their motion/displacement relative to the main body are small.
- Tiltrotor - WikipediaA tiltrotor is an aircraft that generates lift and propulsion by way of one or more powered rotors (sometimes called proprotors) mounted on rotating shafts or nacelles usually at the ends of a fixed wing.
- XV-15 Tiltrotor - NASAIn the STOL mode, tiltrotor aircraft are ideal for long distance transport of heavy cargos into remote areas, where only short runways are available. The XV-15 has been the primary influence for Bell’s V-22, the first production tilt rotor.
